Keira, a Boston local, is the daughter of two immigrants. Her father was Japanese, while her mother's family hails from India.

She was a quiet kid, growing up, and didn't make friends easily. She spent the majority of her free time playing video games, and browsing the Internet on the family computer... When the phone line was free, anyway.

For about five years after high school, she found herself in a limbo of low-paying jobs and unemployment. She got into a heated argument with her girlfriend at the time about her apparent lack of direction in life, and after a fight, they broke up - on bad terms.

Keira was devastated, but continued to earn enough to pay the rent. She fought her growing feelings of depression and loneliness with bar-hopping, video games, socializing on the internet... She eventually got to a point where felt like she was starting to get somewhere in life.

And then one night, while she was sleeping, she swallowed a bee.

DISCLAIMER

The following is a WIP full summary of Keira's actions throughout the Dragon plotline, and each section contains total and unmarked spoilers for each major story questline. You have been warned.

The Secret World and its workings are a confusing thing, and Keira isn't really sure if she's actually making a difference, but she's having a hell of a time getting a chance to be like all of the amazing women from her favorite games. Traveling the world is a blast - and she doesn't even need to pay for airline tickets!

PROLOGUE Surprisingly, both sides of her family had been involved with the "Secret World" for generations. The Dragon, an Asian secret society dedicated to creating long-term order via short-term chaos, had been watching her since she'd been born. Once her Anima infusion was finished, they swooped in, so to speak, kidnapped her, and brought her overseas to Korea, with little explanation as to what was happening.

Her vision of the disaster in Tokyo, received as part of her initiation, was all the convincing she needed to accept the Dragon's "offer".

...Though admittedly, the unexpected oral-sexual release offered by a certain mysterious stranger helped. That's a hell of a recruiting tactic.

SOLOMON ISLAND After being "inducted" and meeting her handler Bong Cha (as well as the mysterious child who apparently holds all of the authority over the faction), Keira was given her first assignment - investigating the zombie-invasion of an island town in New England.

Kingsmouth was... let's say, an interesting introduction to the bizarre new side of the world Keira found herself thrust into. Zombies are real (and trying to eat you), ghosts are real (and are able and willing to attack you), sasquatches are real (that was easy), deep-sea Eldritch abominations are real (no comment)...

Keira's suddenly increased fortitude and martial prowess was more than a bit disorienting, as was the influx of all the terrifying paranormal shit she had to combat.

At the bottom of Blue Ridge mine, after having been blessed by the ancestors of the Wabanaki, she met the mysterious and powerful Beaumont in battle. He had been hounding her and interrupting her progress for the vast majority of her assignment to New England. He was no match for the combined might of Keira and the blessings of the Wabanaki, however, and fell. But then so did Keira.

She found herself in a massive arctic cavern. This was clearly a dream or vision of some sort, like the ones she had shortly after she swallowed the bee (and received the revelation-inducing oral from the aformentioned stranger). A voice was encouraging her forward, but she did not trust it. Something was very, very wrong. When the opportunity presented itself, she flung herself from the edge of the arctic dream world. The voice was angered.

Once she awoke, she returned to Seoul, and was directed to investigate a nearby asylum. The clues within revealed her next destination: al-Merayah, a town in Egypt, located within the Scorched Desert.

EGYPT A definite shift from the gloom and darkness of Solomon Island. Was guerilla warfare with a zombie cult, time travel with ancient tombs, and one-on-one battle with an incarnate Egyptian deity part of the job description? At least she got to pretend to be Lara Croft.

Either way, Keira was caught up in the conflict, and the strange black Filth appeared once again. The latter half of this adventure definitely felt a grueling slog to our poor heroine. In the Sun God's city, she fought, and fought, and fought some more, returning power to the Sentinels, the children of an ancient watcher, Ptahmose.

With their help, as well of the help of the Marya militia and some unexpected Orochi soldiers, she finally defeated the cult's dark god, Akhenaten. Once again, she fell unconscious, this time from a suspiciously precise-feeling blow to the back of her neck...

She found herself transported back to the arctic dreamland. The voices, encountered previously, were not pleased. They represented the Filth, and attempted one last time to offer their allegiance. Refusing to give in to their demands, she struck out at the Watcher that presented itself. She was flung from the mysterious dreamscape, and had made a true enemy, if not a new one...

Keira was summoned back to Seoul. The Orochi group were starting to interfere in matters too much for their own good. She was assigned the infiltration of an Orochi complex within the city. Get in, steal any files on the Prometheus Initiative (a recurring name in Orochi matters), and get out.

Once the matter was settled, she returned to the headquarters of the Dragon to report her findings... and found the enigmatic child alone, seemingly of his own intention. He offered his hand, and Keira took it. Bong Cha returned, and seemed unnerved by this. Regaining her composure, she declared that the Dragon must take control of the situation once again. Keira was being sent to the Carpathian Fangs region of Transylvania to investigate rumors of a siege of vampires.

TRANSYLVANIA Work in progress.
